Does anyone know what the grade level is that public schools are required to teach up to for children with disabilities? For instance, children with disabilities can attend school until age 21 or they can drop out of school if they so desire regardless of grade level. For instance, intellectually challenged people could stay in school until age 21 but never reach the educational level of the 6th grade because it's not possible for them to go beyond the 6th grade. Is the 6th grade the cutoff for teaching children with exceptionalities?
A major factor in answering this question would depend on what state the student is in. A general answer would be most student must attend to a certain age set by each state. You could have a child with no disabilities but chooses not to learn and could be at a lower lever than a child with disabilities who is making an effort. Could you expand your question to address the state you have in mind?
It is not determined by grade level, but by individual goals and objectives as specified in the IEP. Those students not achieving grade level standards will receive a 'Certificate' rather than a regular high school diploma.
